TalkTalk wi-fi router passwords stolen

TalkTalk broadband customers’ wi-fi passwords have been stolen following a malware attack that blocked their internet access last week.The researcher who discovered the issue said other details had also been taken that would let attackers pinpoint where the equipment was being used, making more targeted hacks possible.

Pen Test Partners’ Ken Munro is urging TalkTalk to replace lots of routers.But a TalkTalk spokeswoman indicated that a recall would be unnecessary.

“As is widely known, the Mirai worm is affecting many ISPs [internet service providers] around the world and it has affected a small number of TalkTalk customers,” she said.
